Welp- there you go....

 

The Panthers just proved to all their players that they wont have their back.

 

If Greg had done what AP or Rice did, this would be a NON DISCUSSION.... End of story...

 

But they are giving the prosecution and holder a leg up by reprimanding him preemptively...  

 

What would you (as an organization) do when you have the entire media against you? It's a PR nightmare. You can go 16-0 and there would be no discussion's about the team, but instead about Hardy. MAJOR distraction. It sucks, but this is how the world runs now.

Why can we NOT stand by our guy???? Everyone who knows anything about this case knows this is all about Holder trying to extort Hardy and "get back" at him....

 

This is BS....

 

Everyone rushes to judge... weak ass feeble nation....

 

Hardy is not a child abuser and he didn't knock anyone out. Yet that is the company everyone is quick to put him in.

 

If he is found guilty then char his ass!!! He THEN deserves it!!!!

Don't suspend.  Deactivate for 6 games.  He still gets paid but media gets their blood and shuts up.   After 6 games, he plays again.

After court date, if guilty, fine him 6 game checks.   If not guilty, apologize and give a big fug you to media for forcing their hand.

 

 

It wouldn't work because the media would be back after he sat out 6 games simply because his case still wasn't resolved.  By the way, if Hardy is playing before his court day, chances are he will push the trial back until after the season.  I want this stuff resolved before the season end.  I don't want to be in the playoffs, and the media is still talking about this case.  The only thing we can do at this point, is to sit him out and wait for the trial to settle the issue.

Man up or cave into outside pressure?

 

The Hardy situation is different.

 

There are no pics of Nicole holder with a black eye, or video of her being knocked out...

 

This is a money hungry ****** extorting one of our players. Why punish him preemptively before he has a chance to PROVE he is innocent.  

 

Hey man, I completely agree but since we've already proven that we are incapable of dealing with the pressure of ignoring our media masters and playing him anyway we should go ahead and hold him out so we can get him back for the second half of the season.  I would rather lose him for 6 games now and get him back than dick around all season just  for us to have to suspend him for the rest of the season.  Of course, since all established practices as well as common sense have been thrown out the window who knows if it would work out that way or not.  We may be leading Hardy to the gallows by this time next week if thats what the media demands since we've established we are too gutless to deal with them not liking us.

 

If I were in charge we would have never held him out in the first place and I would ignore all the media morons who seem hellbent on destroying my team.   I would stand by my player until I had an incontrovertible legal reason not to do so.

You think we should sit him for approx. 10 games, go to court, if guilty, suspend another 6?  

So is a first offense DV, now a season long suspension because that's what this becomes?

poo, tell Hardy to plea guilty now, suspend him 4 more games.  Be done with it.

 

Resolution for everyone.  And Hardy get's 1/2 season to showcase his talent for next year with Oakland.

what is messed up is there are people out there who are intelligent enough, in high enough places, to actually put out all the facts, but they are scared to stand up for what is right because the media will crucify them for standing up for the women beaters.  this whole media mob scene, nobody accountable for what they say or concerned about reporting facts, is going to ruin this country.  we are all going to be walking around like drones, too afraid to say/do anything other than what is scripted and programmed.

I would show class and dedication by standing WITH my player, I would educate the media on the situation and KILL it quick by stating that I will not address the situation until the court decides.

 

The media will get theirs regardless, they will make stuff up just to get ratings- so why even cave to them???

 

If im your boss and tell you "hey- I believe you, but you know what, I have to suspend you because I am worried about what other people think" --- your reaction is I have no spine.

 

you stand up for what you believe in!!!!

 

If they believe GH then they stand up for him and show some clout.

 

if not- you are basically saying "yeah- he did it, and is making us look bad".....

 

BS

If we sat him down with pay for 6 games and he is found guilty later on, I believe he would be suspended for 6 games without pay.

The cave-in has already begun. Hardy will soon be place on the exemption list, and won't be eligible to play indefinitely. Here it comes...the PC Train, pulling into the station, running over Hardy in the process. This will come back to haunt us, you realize that, right? Hardy will be released, found not guilty in his jury trial, sign with ATL and terrorize us beginning next year. This sucks.

Why?  The 6 games would be a punishment already.  Just fine him those pay checks. 

 

The punishment is supposed to be the players, not the teams.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      What's more likely? An entire competant NFL front office (as many here suggest Morgan runs) has watched Bryce struggle week in and week out to perform at the bare minimum of NFL QBs for 3 years and has decided that's the future of this organization, OR our owner who has proven repeatedly he can't keep his nose out of team decision making has declared Bryce is our QB until he decides otherwise, especially given he's the one that drafted him in the first place?

      Explicating the Panthers' Defensiveness

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is time to take a look at the defense.  Without further ado do.... Edge (OLB):  I think we overpaid for Jaelan Phillips, but he is constant pressure with 73 pressures in 2025, ranking 9th in the NFL.  In all, he was the 20th (of 111) rated pass rushing edge in 2025 according to PFF, putting him in the top 20% in the nfl.  With a pair of solid ILBs beside him and if we can get Wharton going, I think the sum of the parts will make him better than he was in Philly.  Furthermore, with second-year pro Princely Umanmielen behind him, I expect him to grow with the tutoring and competition. On the other side, the duo of Nick Scourton and Patrick Jones II is strong, in my view.  Scourton generated 34 total pressures as a pass rusher. That total included 8 sacks, 23 hurries, 3 hits. Against the run, he recorded 28 solo tackles. For a rookie, second round, edge, that is great.  He also forced 1 fumble on the season. Jones was decent in 2025 in just 131 snaps, but he is solid veteran depth.   We seem to lack the elite pass rusher, but this rotational unit will be a big upgrade over last season.  Expect Scourton and Princely to show improvement. While it is unlikely that we add more to edge this draft, you can never have too many pass rushers (well, you can--two sophomores and two veterans is a good mix). Would the Panthers take an edge if one was sitting there? Absolutely. Defensive End:  Derrick Brown is a stud.  I did not notice how dominant he became as a pass rusher.  His PFF pass-rush grade of 72.0 ranked 23rd among 134 qualified interior defensive linemans. His run-defense grade of 66.3 ranked 22nd at the position. He generated 35 total pressures as a pass rusher. That total included 6 sacks, 23 hurries, 6 hits. On the other side:  What the hell?  Tershawn Wharton earned a 40.8 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 127th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemans. His PFF pass-rush grade of 57.0 ranked 95th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemen. His run-defense grade of 34.8 ranked 125th at the position. However, Wharton needs to be situational and we really need a few DEs who can plug and pressure.  LaBryan Ray is an interior defensive lineman for the Carolina Panthers who earned a 45.7 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season.  You cannot tell me that we are not going to add a DE.  In my view, this is a HUGE need that we have not adequately addressed.  There were only 3 DEs in the NFL who played more snaps that Derrick Brown.  We have to give him more blows during the game.  So After Brown, we have 2 other players who need to improve a lot to reach mediocre. Nose Tackle:  Of course, a NT might move out some to help stuff the run at DE opposite Brown, and stats do not always reflect on a NT's actual value.  Bobby Brown III earned a 54.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 80th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemen.  His PFF pass-rush grade of 51.1 ranked 126th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemans. His run-defense grade of 57.8 ranked 51st at the position.   Behind him, Cam'Ron Jackson is an  earned a 45.5 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season.   The defensive line is weak, based on 2025 performance rankings in PFF.  After DBrown, they pretty much suck.  These are the guys our ILBs will be counting on. Inside Linebacker:  Devin Lloyd earned a 89.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 3rd among 88 qualified linebackers. His PFF coverage grade of 81.1 ranked 3rd among 88 qualified linebackers. His run-defense grade of 83.2 ranked 11th at the position. His pass-rush grade of 82.2 ranked 5th among qualified linebackers.  He's good.  At the moment, beside him is Trevin Wallace  who earned a 55.9 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 57th among 88 qualified linebackers. His PFF coverage grade of 64.5 ranked 25th among 88 qualified linebackers. His run-defense grade of 42.3 ranked 85th at the position. His pass-rush grade of 64.2 ranked 45th among qualified linebackers.  Wallace was best as a coverage LB, and based on my memory, I am not sure he was in the top third, but if PFF says so...however, he was nearly last vs. the run.  We need better to play beside Lloyd.  Bam Morris-Scott earned a 37.6 overall PFF defensive grade. To put that in perspective, I was rated by PFF at 32.3 on my couch.   Cherilus Claudin is the third best ILB on the roster right now. He earned a 59.2 overall PFF defensive grade in just over 200 snaps.  Having lost Rozeboom, the Panthers are very thin behind Lloyd.  Look for a starting-caliber ILB in the draft.  Wallace is not the guy, but he is decent depth. Nickel CB:  Chau Smith-Wade  earned a 57.0 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 79th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His PFF coverage grade of 57.2 ranked 79th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His run-defense grade of 55.4 ranked 77th at the position.  For a nickel, he played a lot--garnering over 600 snaps.  Corey Thornton was a pleasant surprise, until he was injured.  However, in just 127 snaps, he was very good, earning a 68.5 overall PFF defensive grade.  I think he can play outside in a pinch, but nickel might be his gig.  I am not sold that Nickel is in good hands, but Thornton is promising.  Smith-Wade is average, and with the experience he has accumulated, we are probably not prioritizing Nickel, but there are some good nickels in the draft. Cornerback:  Michael Jackson should have been in the pro bowl.  He earned a 79.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 4th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His PFF coverage grade of 80.9 ranked 3rd among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His run-defense grade of 67.2 ranked 36th at the position. He recorded 4 interceptions on the season. Jackson broke up 9 passes in coverage. He allowed a 72.9 passer rating when targeted by opposing quarterbacks --SOLID!!  Our second-best CB, Jaycee Horn, was in the pro bowl.  He earned a 57.8 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 76th among 114 qualified corner.backs. His PFF coverage grade of 61.6 ranked 61st among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His run-defense grade of 50.5 ranked 87th at the position.  He recorded 5 interceptions on the season.  Our CBs had NINE interceptions in 2025.  It is doubtful they duplicate that figure, but Jackson was our best CB.   We are thin at CB, but the two we put out there are solid.  Nickel, at this time, is "meh," but both are developing and should improve.  A great draft for Nickel.  The Panthers will add a CB somehow. Safety:  For now, Trevon Moehrig is as advertised--above average vs. the run, below average in coverage, making him average. He earned a 64.3 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 50th among 98 qualified safeties. His PFF coverage grade of 55.3 ranked 64th among 98 qualified safeties. His run-defense grade of 73.5 ranked 37th at the position.  Lathan Ransom got some valuable experience in 2025, getting in on 330 plays or so.  He earned a 62.9 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 56th among 98 qualified safeties.  (Average, not bad for a day 3 rookie) His PFF coverage grade of 55.8 ranked 63rd among 98 qualified safeties. His run-defense grade of 85.1 ranked 4th at the position.  A pure strong safety, if you ask me.  Nick Scott  earned a 67.8 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 36th among 98 qualified safeties. His PFF coverage grade of 67.3 ranked 31st among 98 qualified safeties. His run-defense grade of 69.3 ranked 56th at the position.  Expect a draft pick at FS.  Demani Richardson is a safety for the Carolina Panthers who earned a 71.5 overall PFF defensive grade n 29 plays.  Nothing to see here.  Isaiah Simmons is probably more special teams than defensive player.   Overall:  We are thin on defense.  No real depth at CB, S, and DE/NT.  However, we have 5 starters who are pro bowl level players (D. Brown, Lloyd, Jackson, Horn, and Phillips--and I might throw Scourton in on that pile for the sixth potential pro bowler).  We are weak at NT, and if Wharton does not step up, DE.  Funny, I see Edge as our strength (and we really don't have a sack artist) and I love our starting CBs.  Moehrig is making too much to be average.   Expect:  In the draft, I think we have to draft a DT.  Having done this, I am not sure that we go after a S when we have such glaring needs at other positions.  We could upgrade at nickel and give the CB room more depth.  OLB?  Wallace is decent depth, and he could start in a pinch.   DE is our biggest need.  The answer could be on the roster?
